Mycobacterium paragordonae Genome sequencing. Mycobacterium paragordonae

Mycobacterium paragordonae (MPG) is a less common type of NTM, mostly found in the environment, but can also be pathogenic to humans. We know less about the characteristics and prognosis of patients with MPG pulmonary disease because MPG-PD is less commonly described.To reveal the clinical characteristics of MPG-PD patients and their prognostic outcomes, and to deepen the understanding of MPG, a retrospective cohort study of MPG-PD patients was conducted.
